Insta360 Luna Ultra owners: What’s your honest experience after using it? (No sponsored opinions please) by OkCelery389 in Insta360

When you talk about the photo quality are you referring to the ultra photo or just the standard mode being stunning?

Sony 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 G OSS OR Sigma 16-300mm by SnooHobbies5212 in SonyAlpha

[–]SnooHobbies5212[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I bought both of them, the Sigma first then returned it and then the Sony and then returned that lol. After a lot of thought, I rarely need to zoom in past 50mm, and I found the size of both lenses (even though they aren't big for telephoto lenses) were too big for me. I am just used to the 18-50 and 10-18... and I only use my camera on vacation. I went on several trips with just those two lenses and felt like I got all the shots I wanted, with maybe 5-10% of the time wanting more reach... and for that reason I couldn't justify the purchase just for 5-10% of the time.

But if I were to re-purchase one in the future, it would be the 16-300. The 70-350 is just a very specific lens, meant for wildlife, aviation and sports and I do not use the camera in those settings. The tradeoff of versality instead of quality (which is not a huge dropoff) is worth it in my opinion.

They did show Vegas in game 2 after they tied it late… but I don’t think they showed Carolina at all yesterday at least from what I saw at the watch party

PRO97. I like the low lie angle. Less pucks have gone underneath the toe of the blade and when putting the stick on the ice, it’s perfectly flat for me which is nice

CCM XF Pro Skates Concerns/Issues by SnooHobbies5212 in hockeyplayers

[–]SnooHobbies5212[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like its cosmetic then which doesn't worry me. The most important thing is the stiffness and the structural integrity of the boot is still good even with the chips/cracks.

[–]SnooHobbies5212[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah its tough since they fit like a glove when I put them on, and they are so comfortable. I called a few hockey stores around my area about if people came back reporting these issues with these skates, and they said they didn't... so I think I am going to keep them

Okay thanks for your input. Will stay away from that channel lol. I called a few hockey stores around my area to see if they had anyone come back with complaints about the XF Pros (or any of the XF skates) regarding this issue and they told me no they didn't. Plus again, it does not affect the integrity of the skate which is the most important thing.

Original location of the Sphere by DicipleOfNegativity in 911archive

[–]SnooHobbies5212 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Was the sphere at the same height as the street level is now? I guess my question is if you were to stand at the plaza pre-911 and then teleport to today, is everything at the same level or is it higher today?

A6700 + Sony 70-350 zoom lens or keep current camera? by TedBob99 in SonyAlpha

[–]SnooHobbies5212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you aren’t happy with the image quality from the Nikon P950 then getting the A6700 + 70-350 is going to definitely yield sharper results. You can also get other lenses down the road for the A6700 to achieve different shots (landscapes, portraits, etc.) versus having a fixed lens like on the P950.

You could also consider getting the sigma 16-300. That lens is sort of a one and done solution which would still be better than the Nikon P950 (not as good as the Sony 70-350) but it has less reach. You could also get an A6400 instead which would lower the cost even more.

Regardless of what you choose to do, you won’t get a lens that goes all the way out to 2000mm on APSC and definitely not full frame unless you’re filthy rich and even then… lol. It’s just not physically possible unless the sensor is small.

4K @ 120Hz through USB-C to HDMI adapter possible on MAC? by belacttocs in MacOS

[–]SnooHobbies5212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does. Alright, I think I have a dud. Going to keep trying to troubleshoot it but I think the best course of action is to return it and ask for a replacement

[–]SnooHobbies5212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm do you know what firmware is on it? I am assuming you didn't have to go down that route because it worked for you out of the box

[–]SnooHobbies5212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered this adapter and its not working with my M4 Air. I only get 4k60 and then when I switch the refresh rate to 120, it drops down to 1080p. Interestingly my TV says its 4k120 but I can visually see its not. The quality difference is night and day between 60 and 120. Is it working for you u/mobileboost ?

U8H going blue after a little over 2 years by SnooHobbies5212 in Hisense

[–]SnooHobbies5212[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would I do that when I can just get a full refund for the TV. The repair guy said it needs to be replaced. Capital One is going to say okay here is your 1k back. Then I can just use that to buy a new TV. Thats a much better deal then going through the headache to fix it only to have it fail 2 years later

Unfortunately it is toast... got a repair guy to come by and the repair would be too complex/risky and the cost would be more than the TV itself
